Car Tech Video: Jaguar C-X17 concept

At the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar unveiled their crossover concept called the Jaguar C-X17 which gives us several nods to the current crop of Jaguars including the F-Type.

Hey, what's up everybody.
This is Antoine Goodwin with CNET.com and I'm on the floor of the 2013 Frankfurt Motor show.
We're taking a look at a big blue and kind of odd Jaguar.
But medium sized crossovers aren't odd for the industry and that's why Jaguar has got the CX-17 here.
It's a very hot part of the industry where there's a lot of money that can be made.
And
they're kind of testing the waters to see whether they actually wanna get in on that.
It's not a lot of information going on about what's happening under the hood.
This is pretty much just a styling exercise.
You look at the rear end.
You'll see the F-types, tail lights that are a little more squared off than round.
And if you look at the fronting, you'll see a vertically stretched version of the XF's front end.
So a lot of the- sort of styling cues that we're seeing in Jaguar's corporate language, being translated on to a larger body and they're testing the waters.
Jaguar hasn't announced whether they're actually gonna build the CX-17 or a
crossover based on this design.
So we'll just keep our eyes [unk] becoming ears to see if the temptation to get into that very hot crossover market is too tempting to Jaguar.
